Summer and Headphones

Posted by Harmonic Agenda on

I really want some sunshine and warm winds over my town. It’s been too long. I want to be able to walk around with nothing more than a pair of shorts and a t-shirt! There will be a lot of baby strolling around town this summer. I can’t wait to visit Smaka På Stockholm in Kungsträdgården and do stuff like that.

Me and Paula are still discussing what we are doing this summer. We’ve talked about Disneyland, Florida and Paris. :) Who knows?

I am still looking for a new pair of headphones. I have adapted from my Genelecs, since I can’t play them at home anymore. I have done my last 10 productions in my headphones. :) I’m starting to like it a lot!

I still don’t know what pair to buy. I thought about the A900 from Audio-Technica. I LOVE the sound of them! They are SO airy and precise in the higher frequency bands. But I don’t know if they can deliver enough lows for my productions. And I’m a little bit skeptical about their headbands. We have had 2 pair that broke in the store at MM GALLERIAN in just 7 months. That is not something to brag about.

And I still like the expensive models of Sennheiser and AKG.

I seriously don’t like the Monster Beats. They can’t deliver anything right. The sound is so compressed and the lows is just CHAOS and takes over the whole sound image. The highs can barely be heard. They sound like metallic mids! I just hate it! It is too bad that people buy headphones because they “look cool”.

They sound like sh*t!!!

I’m going to make my own headphone model one day. Mark my words! ;)

For Shure

Posted by Harmonic Agenda on

Good morning

I’m up early  today, Liam woke me up 07:00.. haha! I am really lucky Paula and I went to sleep before 00:00 last night. I slept like a baby.. I sleep very good now days. Everything in my life feels so good, like everything is in the right place.

Since Liam woke me up today we have been playing and completing Uncharted 2! What an EXCELLENT game! I think it was even better then the first one.. Liam wants me to pick up the third one today, haha.. Maybe I will. :)

I have found a new pair of headphones that I plan to get in a near future. I have always been an “on-ear” type of guy when it comes to headphones. Since they usually sound better and are more friendly to your ears. AKG is one of my favorite brands when we are talking music gear. I have used AKG for the last 5 years I think. Their frequence curve is very straight and natural which is very good for mixing audio. But for the last couple of days I have been looking for a pair of REALLY good in-ear headphones as a complement to my existing. And boy have I found me a pair that seem to blow everybody’s mind! I am of course talking about Shure SE535.

The SE535 have received fantastic reviews and high scores in several tests. They are both natural sounding and have a very expensive and exclusive inside. I fell in love with them at first sight. Now I just need to save up some money to be able to buy them – since they are NOT cheap. You have to pay about 400 euro to get a pair of these bad boys! But as far as I am concerned, they are SO worth it! I am heading over to Reference Audio today and perhaps I can try then out there! :D

Then again.. Which color? I like booth! :D

Session above the rooftops

Posted by Harmonic Agenda on

My head is all messed up. Too much music today. :D Elias and I continued on the new track today. We borrowed mom’s apartment since she is in Spain. The best room at her place is definitely the living room. Located on the fifth floor above Slussen, you can imagine the view right? Open skies over rooftops.. With LARGE windows. I decided that this is the place to re-record all the vocals. We also recorded our old piano,  just to get the right feeling. :) It was a good day! Most of the vocal parts is done. I am really excited about this one folks.. It is fresh, it is New..
